Twitter Reactions: Madhya Pradesh defeat heavyweights Mumbai to win their first ever Ranji Trophy title

Talented batter Rajat Patidar, hit the winning runs as his side went on to chase a 108-run target on Day 5 of the final. Mumbai tried to get some momentum as they scalped the wicket of opener Yash Dubey on a score of one. However, the other opener Himanshu Mantri (37 runs), Shubham Sharma (30 runs), and Rajat Patidar (30 runs) ensured that MP never looked troubled in the chase. As a result, their side won their first-ever title in Ranji Trophy. Shubham Sharma was adjudged player of the match for his excellent performance with the bat in the finals.

Madhya Pradesh players celebrated in front of the whole crowd at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium with their coach Chandrakant Pandit leading the team huddle. To note, it was Pandit who led MP to its first final of the Ranji Trophy in the 1989-90 edition. However, their team lost to Karnataka in the title clash. He will be relieved that MP won the title under his management after 23 years.

Meanwhile, Mumbai star batter Sarfaraz Khan was adjudged player of the tournament for his spectacular knocks throughout the tournament. The right-handed batter scored 982 runs in the season and has grabbed the attention of several experts and pundits.

Meanwhile, here are some Twitter reactions:

Doubts were cast on his abilities as a batter as he used to wear glasses in his childhood. Yash Dubey remained unfazed. And here he is in #RanjiTrophyFinal with a 336-ball 133 as Madhya Pradesh take control vs Mumbai. @NewIndianXpress @Xpress_Sports @indraneel0 @Abhikhandekar1 pic.twitter.com/EvHokbV2nA
